How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Langley
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We’re often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Langley, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Langley
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you let a flat or house near Bearsted station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Langley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Langley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Langley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Bearsted station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Commercial buildings in Langley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Langley Park Primary Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
